British Transport Police would not be happy…

Well, it is pretty clear from the little bit of browsing I have done this morning that the iPhone caused an overnight tidlewave of content to flood the web.
unboxing the iPhone
comparing the iPhone with an Apple Newton
typing on the iPhone
making your own iPhone
taking photos with the iPhone
scratching and dropping the iPhone
actually testing the iPhones main purpose; calling
dismantling the iPhone
selling the iPhone on eBay ($2,650 seems to be the most expensive active price at the moment)
rumouring a 3g version of the iPhone for the european market
yep…feeling a little left out in the non-iPhone enlightened world…
Not enough papercraft in your life? Got absolutely nothing useful left to do? Then this is perfect for you…
Customise, download and print a Glooman (or Gloowoman) in their casual or office attire, then cut it and gloo it and swear a little, print another one start from scratch till eventually these cute figurines adorn your monitor.

Give it a little time to get going…and it is actually pretty impressive. Perhaps not as energetic as the Daft Charleston, but still pretty coordinated.

An interesting video effect which displaces the video frame on each horizontal line, creating these wonderful bendy effects.
Would love to see some taichi using this technique, I think it would be very interesting.

…and all your base are belong to us?
Received this little gem of usefulness from a linksys router which I was trying to upgrade with some custom firmware. I can only assume that this is the engineers having a laugh, surely…
The geek group presents the Super Mario Brothers theme tune, played exclusively with the musical tesla coils and enough electricity to power a small country.
Also on the playlist is Korobeiniki (or the Tetris Theme to you and me), the theme from Jaws and of course
the 1812 Ovature.

I can’t wait for these baby’s to hit the shelves of my local gadget retailer. A wireless remote controls a coloured light capable of every (or at least close to) colour in the spectrum. The best part is that if you get a few of them they can be setup to work in tandem.

pretty special advert for a very standard car…

This is a pretty cool project, a chap in Germany attached a small digital camera to his cat’s collar.
My experience of adding anything to cats collars is that it causes the cat to spend the following several hours awkwardly trying to remove the foreign item, but somehow this guy convinced his cat to become a pioneer in cat photography.
His site shows some of the adventures the cat went on while wearing the catcam, fascinating! I am surprised no one has actually turned this into a product yet, imagine a cat/dog collar with a wireless camera and small memory card which just syncs the images with your network when in range.
I guess there would probably be quite a bit of resistance from the animal privacy advocates.

UPDATE 3/1/08 - also check out the Fritz Catcam for more photographic cat adventures.
Flying dangerously close to marketing a foodstuff as a medicine, these function drinks are gaining popularity in silicon valley. Different drinks in the range promise a stamina boost, weight loss, intelligence boost even a hangover cure and have a ton of marketing science and research to back them up.
I wonder if they actually work?

This (if you hadn’t already guessed) is an ad campaign for Oogmerk Opticians. Certainly beats the pseudo-models with non-prescription glasses.

This photoessay by Peter Menzel from Time magazine show families from around the world and a typical weeks consumption.
Pictured are the Revis family from North Carolina and the Ayme family of Tingo who spent almost exactly ten times less per week.

Perhaps a little disturbing, David Puel and Thomas Libé are showing their set of photographs of people kissing themselves…literally.
A somewhat believable prediction of where media and the internet are headed in the future. Although I am sure there will still be people who write letters, visit vinyl record shops and go to the opera.
